Celebrating 10 years of the LEAP Engine programme On July 13, 2008, CFM International’s parent companies, GE Aviation and Safran Aircraft Engines, made history by launching the advanced LEAP-X engine programme. “That was a great day for CFM and a bold move for GE and Safran Aircraft Engines,” said Gaël Méheust, president and CEO of CFM International. “That day, they committed to a multi-billion-dollar engine development programme that, at the time, did not have an airplane application. But the parent companies were so confident in the joint venture and its future that they also renewed the partnership agreement to the year 2040.” The first engine application didn’t come until about 18 months later, when COMAC chose the LEAP engine to be the sole Western power plant for its new 150-passenge C919 in December 2009.
